Phillips will be on another AHL team with a difference organization, trading Markstrom would be crazy at this point plus he has a NMC, the Jets didn't move Hellebuyck last season when he was losing 19 of 34 starts before February, teams don't move on from Veizna calibre goaltenders during a bad season. Having Vladar and Wolf as a tandem leaves a TON of room for error, what if this is Vladar's career year like it was Markstrom's last year? Then he regresses to a back up goalie that is around .900 sv%?

I don't mind moving on from Toffoli if Coronoto can come in and look like a contributor, the other two guys are elite defensive players, this team will always have troubles finding scoring under Sutter, I don't think they're the two to move on from. Would be really tough to sign Hanifin and Lindholm the following year too.

There is absolutely no room for a 6 million dollar goalie in Ottawa.

And Markstrom is not waiving his NMC.



The Ottawa Senators and Jacob Markstrom both decline.

Try again.

Not sure where we would put Tanev.

Siegenthaler - Hamilton
Graves - Marino
Smith - Severson

Okhotiuk, Bahl, Walsh, Hughes, Nemec, Mukhamadullin could all get playing time.

It’s getting a bit crowded. If Severson walks in summer, maybe it would work then.

i dont see the canes doing that deal. that toffoli deal would be more likely though.

Backlund is just a wannabe Jordan Staal, why would Carolina do this? There are FAR better players to spend those assets on

Wtf? Have we not learned from this year not to spend massive amounts of money on overachieving pending UFA's? Kadri's a decent player but we were far better off with Monahan and the 1st IMO.

Sutter also really liked Monahan and said he probably would have been named captain

Wannabe Jordan Staal? Why because Staal got his name on a cup 14 seasons ago? Backlund has been the consistently better player in recent years.

(Not saying Carolina needs him but show some respect)
